Each volume of the series portrays a campaign, with every player taking the role of a General, they must pursue and earn Glory as measured in game terms, i.e. by scoring victories, capturing cities and fortresses and taking prisoners; but always trying to stay ahead of your colleagues and allies (there's nothing like being the first to present your captured enemy standards!). In each box you'll find several different scenarios, each of them with their own Glory and victory conditions. Fill all the flair and flavour of this romantic era in this balanced mix of war and role playing game.

Glory Points: to count how much glory has earned each player.

Siege Points: used to resolve sieges.

Supply Trains: to determine who has supplies.

Demolished Bridge: fairly self-explanatory.

Fatigue levels: used to show the status of the combat units during operations.

III) Character cards..
Every card represents a character of the Napoleonic Age. Each player assumes the role of one of the greatest (or worst) generals of the time and will lead a Combat Unit, with his portrait printed, on the game map. His play will be influenced by the profile on his Character Card, this profile is defined by certain traits, both positive and negative. In their search for Glory, players should always reckon on their character profile in order to maximize their achievements.
